Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic

You still have to eat sensibly on the other five days if you want to lose weight.

I had a doctors appointment today where they questioned an anomolous BMI measurement taken two weeks ago, which wasn't calculating properly.

Looking at the fields the nurse filled in I was listed as 63(cm) tall and weigh 177(kg)...

D'oh.

So they dragged you in to see if you were essentially a solid space hopper without actually checking it *might* possibly be a clerical error? Did they have previous readings and thought "FUCK ME she's got caught in a car crusher" or the like?

Yeah, you're taller than that. 80cm?

Have you contacted Disney to see if they need another Ewok for the new Starwars film?

Just weighed myself. I am down to 16 stone 4.

Really chuffed, I was 18 stone not too long ago.

Good going you sexy bastard.

Are you going to BeeXBBQ? We will probably save £40 in petrol between us the weight we have lost.

As we've not seen each other a year the we can coo at our respective waistlines all the way there.

Yes dude. I am down to the same size waist as Mr Dave.

I'm a 34 waist too!

What colour are your trousers?

(I'm still 15 and a half stone so maybe not so much)

Jesus, Kovacs, you must be like a racing snake now. My trousers are all 32-34", with 34" usually needing a belt to feel secure - they never fall down completely, but hang around my hips in that horrible "teenager" styley.

Cycled in to work twice this week and it's starting to get easier again. I'll be pleased if I can manage two journeys a week all the way through till October this year.

For the first time in my life since I was only a few months old, I now actually (believe it or not) have a BMI in the healthy range. Alas, my body fat % is still only 9%. When it should be 14 as a minimum. But still, progress. - or at least it was before they poisoned me on wednesday.

I only joined that surgery two weeks ago, so they were my initial recorded measures from that date, but as I've been fainting noticed that my BMI was very wrong, Rechecked both and they'd just been swapped in the boxes when they were typed in. Like to think they might have thought I was a space hopper, though.

Started running again, go out every 2nd day on a 1.5 mile circuit around the block, on Fridays my wife drags me out with her and our son (in the jogging buggy) for a 3 mile run. Been doing it 3 weeks now. Feel so much brighter in the day and sleep like a log, some muscle stiffness but its all where is should be, in my legs as a pose to my back, so that means my disc op has worked Plan to increase distance in the next month or so as the days get lighter Glad I've finally started

Well my running was going really well until last week when I went skateboarding and tweaked my already fucked knee then decided to run five miles the next day thinking it would somehow help make it better. It really didn't. It's fine again now apart from a weird thumb-sized lump underneath one of the surgery scars but I still can't run because I'm full of some shitty virus cold thing again. Ah well.

Increased my routed to 2.5 miles now, and its a nicer once with a mixture of gradients. Also started the week with some mild stomach bug, whilst I felt sick I never was but I'm really not interested in food so a bit of fasting has been going on. Also cut out the snacks after dinner and all booze aside from the odd vodka and diet lemonade. Had dropped 5lbs by Wednesday.

Cycled to work today for the first time this year. A bit hard going at first but I'll soon be back up to speed.

Post subject:	Re: Middle Age Spread
Nice work. If you can cycle now, you can cycle any time - there might have been a couple of weeks in January that were a bit colder, but it's wet and windy where I am and even as the weather warms over the next few weeks, it'll get more unstable. Um, by which I just mean - stick at it, cos Spring-Summer is a glorious time to be cycling around, and getting to that after some more dodgy weather makes it all the better.

Crikey. I'm 34 waist, but with a 'you're older and chocolate turns to fat a lot easier' type belly. Sometimes I can wear a belt with my 24 trousers. Other times not so much.

I can't get in 32 as my legs are too big.

I'm staggered that I'm the same waist as Mr Dave, KovacsC, and Russ! I think I need to start losing weight though. T-shirts no longer hang off me like tents.
